#2 The Portuguese Man of War, Aldo Montoya
Another masked wrestler pretending to be a different nationality, Aldo Montoya was a mere blip on wrestling's radar in 1995.
While the man under the mask was a capable wrestler, there just wasn't enough meat to the gimmick for it to work. The average American doesn't know much about Portugal, and thus fans were often confused as to how they should feel about Aldo Montoya.
A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
Aldo was traded to ECW during a talent exchange program. The WWE got Steve Austin, while ECW got Montoya. While Montoya was rebranded as Justin Credible and garnered some success in ECW, it's clear who got the better end of THAT trade!
